This thread is a really good example of how difficult it can be to both explain and understand a problem.

Re: [PHP] $_POST issues
The function http_build_query() is turning your $_POST array into a query string ($_GET), so the answer to this really depends where you're trying to dump the array. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Actually this is the response page, i.e. a payment gateway is sending
the result of a transaction to this page. Normally I expect to catch the
data sent by the payment gateway using the $_POST array, i.e. $result =
$_POST['result'], etc.
So i wanted to check the data sent by the payment gateway using
var_dump($_POST); <--- this gives me array(0) { }
But if I put the other codes (lemme quote again here):
filename: response.php
header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + (0*60)) . "GMT");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
print "REDIRECT=http://www.domaine.com/page.php?";;
$param = http_build_query($_POST);
print $param;
exit(0);
?>
It successfully redirects me to page.php + the properly constructed query string
e.g.: http://www.domain.com/page.php?var1=val1&var2=val2 ... etc
That's baffling me. Why can't I catch the $_POST data in this response.php but
I get them in page.php ??
Something weird.

Under normal circumstances, $_POST will only be populated from a
with a method="post".
So, loading a URL to a PHP script containing just the var_dump() will
never output anything for $_POST as the URL wasn't the result of a
POST'd form.
You can also use cURL or stream_contexts to construct the data for
POST-ing and your script would receive these correctly.
